This book surveys the history of psychoanalytic treatments of myths variously as symptoms of psychopathology, as cultural defense mechanisms, and as metaphoric expressions of ideas that may include therapeutic insights.

The book is concerned with the question of how the concept of 'god' in urban Rome can be analyzed along the lines of six constituent concepts, id est space, time, personnel, function, iconography and ritual. While older publications tended to focus on the conceptual nature of Roman gods only in those (comparatively rare) instances in which different concepts patently overlapped (as in the case of the deified emperor or hero-worship), this book develops general criteria for an analysis of pagan, Jewish and Christian concepts of gods in ancient Rome (and by extension elsewhere). While the argument of the book is exclusively based on the evidence from the capital up to the age of Constantine, in the concluding section the results are compared to other religious belief systems, thus demonstrating the general applicability of this conceptual approach.

Los autores de los ensayos que aparecen en este volumen buscan un modelo del cambio religioso que permita comprender los contactos históricos contingentes entre sociedades distintas, sobre todo ante una situación de dominio de una sociedad frente a otra. Su esfuerzo se orienta hacia la identificación de la variedad de elementos implicados en tales contactos y hacia la explicación de cómo sus efectos permean y modifican las instituciones y los valores religiosos de las sociedades. Los ensayos se refieren a varios casos históricos, en particular la penetración del islam en el Medio Oriente, la India e Indonesia, y la penetración del cristianismo en Filipinas y México. Tomados en conjunto, los ensayos sugieren una serie de determinantes generales que ayudan a entender por qué el cambio religioso es rápido y relativamente radical en algunos casos -los que se agrupan bajo el rubro de la conversión- y más lento y parcial en otros -los agrupados bajo el rubro del sincretismo. Los factores principales que rigen estos procesos incluyen el modo y la extensión de los contactos, los diferentes niveles de desarrollo económico y científico de las sociedades; la naturaleza de sus respectivos valores, de sus creencias y de sus prácticas religiosas.

The Arjunawiwāha is one of the best known of the Old Javanese classics. This volume presents a new text, based on Balinese manuscripts, with a complete translation, building on the work done by earlier writers. An introduction provides ample background information, as well as an original interpretation of the significance of the text, within its historical and cultural setting. This poem was written by Mpu Kanwa in around A.D. 1030 under King Airlangga, who ruled in East Java. It is Mpu Kanwa’s only known work, and is the second oldest example in the genre of kakawin . The poem is a narrative, but also contains passages of description, philosophical or religious teaching of great interest, as well as remarkable erotic scenes. Parts of the tale have been depicted on early temple reliefs and in paintings, and the text is still recited in Bali by literary clubs and in temple ceremonies. Full text (Open Access)
